About Me

I am a one-time international secondary school Science/Chemistry teacher with over 15 years of teaching experience in 10 different countries spanning 5 continents. Though born a Tibetan-Buddhist in a Hindu country, I attended a Jesuit school in Nepal and traveled to four other countries for further education. Currently I spend my time doing education-related social work.

When I am not doing education-related work, I am likely to be found playing Ultimate Frisbee or the Didjeridoo, or dancing or taking photographs or hiking and trekking in the mountains or lounging on a beach!
